What makes up the motor unit?

A
Sensory Nerves (Afferent)
Ventral Horn Cell
Peripheral Nerve (Efferent)

17
Q

What is a spinal reflex?

A

Involuntary response to mechanical stimulation, independent of the CNS.
It is influenced by UMN and unconscious.

18
Q

Signs of Motor Unit disease/LMN signs

A

Loss of spinal reflexes
Loss of motor function
Loss of sensation (not always, only if sensory nerves damaged)
RAPID loss of muscle bulk and tone
